Where's your mama gone?
Where's your mama gone
Little baby done?

Far, far away.
Where's your papa gone?

Little baby done?

Where's your papa gone?
Where's your papa gone
Far, far away. Far, far away.
Last night I heard my Mama
singing a song.
Ooowee, chirpy chirpy cheep cheep.
Woke up this morning and my
Mama was gone.
Ooowee, chirpy chirpy cheep cheep.
Chirpy chirpy cheep cheep chirp.
Where's your mama gone?
Where's your mama gone
Little baby done?
Little baby done
Where's your mama gone?
Where's your mama gone
Far, far away.
Far, far away.

There she was just a
walking down the street, singing
Do Wah Diddy Diddy Dam Diddy Do.
Snapping her fingers and a
shuffling her feet, singing
Do Wah Diddy Diddy Dam Diddy Do.
She looks good -looks good-
she looks fine -looks fine-
she looks good, looks fine,
and I nearly lost my mind.
Before she knew it she was
walking next to me, singing
Do Wah Diddy Diddy Dam Diddy Do.
Holding my hand just as
natural as can be, singing
Do Wah Diddy Diddy Dam Diddy Do.
We walked on -walked on-
to my door -my door-
we walked on to my door,
then we kissed a little more.
Oh oh -
I knew we were falling in love.
Yes, I did and so I told her
all the things I'd been dreaming of.

Now tell you what I think,
I think he's a pain,
He ain't got a car
but he drives you insane,
let's go for a drink
and think of you,
enough about him,
let's talk about you.
Cause your my mate
and I will stand by you,
you're my mate and I
will stand by you,
and in the face of things
that could hurt you,
you're my mate and I
will stand by you.
Cause your my mate
and I will stand by you,
you're my mate and I
will stand by you,
and in the face of things
that could hurt you,
you're my mate and I
will stand by you,
cause you're my mate.
I'll tell you what I think,

Almost heaven West Virginia,
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.
Life is old there, older than the trees,
younger than the mountains
growin' like a breeze.
Country Roads take me home
to the place I belong.
West Virginia mountain momma
take me home Country Roads.
All my mem'ries gather 'round her
miner's lady stranger to blue water.
Dark and dusty painted on the sky,
misty taste of moonshine
teardrop in my eye.
Country Roads take me home
to the place I belong.
West Virginia mountain momma
take me home Country Roads.
Country Roads take me home
to the place I belong.
West Virginia mountain momma
take me home Country Roads.
Lalala, lalala, lalala, lalala.
West Virginia mountain momma,
take me home Country Roads.
Take me home Country Roads
take me home Country Roads.
